Even waratah jesus was never that irrationally optimistic. How did the champagne breakfast go, #1? .

Suggested removal of superfluous words in the pursuit of brevity. .

Don't hold back, Belly. I would be very interested in your comments. .

Dave, I think the issue of Uni dominance is now being addressed by clubs such as Manly in the appropriate way, namely, using Uni as the benchmark and taking steps to go past them. One of Manly's great strengths is its tribalism, a factor which should never be underestimated. Uni doesn't have...

Modesty, uncertainty or a desire not to show your Club's hand, Dave? .

Removing the need for drinkers to get up from their seats might cause locals to begin emulating female Mungo fans at Suncorp who are known to become so engrossed in the play that nothing will cause them to miss a minute of the game: Queenslanders, beautiful one minute; bare-arsed the next. .

Interesting to speculate on who's going to take up the role of designated scapegoat if they continue to under-perform. .

I think you may have been put off the scent by craftiness, p. Tah. Note that Bill Pulver did not claim that no one "either inside the ARU executive or the ARU board" made the statement.

It would seem that Bill Pulver might have unintentionally - or perhaps bumblefootedly - narrowed the list of suspects in the search for who put the slows on Link as National coach: "I have never heard anyone either inside the ARU executive or the ARU board make that comment," Pulver told The...

This gets seriously surreal: ARU chief executive Bill Pulver confirmed to The Australian last night that Carroll's resignation would be announced today. "He and I talked about the direction of Australian rugby going forward and that won't involve a deputy CEO," Pulver said. So you call in...

I apologise profusely for anything unkind I might have said about John O'Neill. Speaking on behalf of myself and quite possibly one or two more you are welcome back any time, John. And there is no need to do anything about the hair style - for all I know bouffant may be on its way back in. I...
